Bellator's 'Road to the Championship' special airs tonight at 11 p.m. ET

Bellator MMA takes its customary “off week” this week and instead of a live show airs a “Road to the Championship” highlights special.

The half-hour-long special airs tonight at 11 p.m. ET on Spike TV.

It recaps the organization’s five current Season 8 tournaments, all of which conclude in the next few weeks.

In this season’s 12-week Bellator run, tournaments were held in the featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight and light heavyweight tournaments. Each winner gets $100,000 in total pay and a guaranteed title shot.

The “Road to the Championship” special is hosted by Jimmy Smith and features special guests Joe Warren, Michael Chandler, Ben Saunders, Emanuel Newton, Doug Marshall and Manny Rodriguez.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
